Monk/Funny
- The episode where Monk loses it due to a garbage strike: First, he accuses none other than Alice Cooper for the murder (complete with Cooper actually being in the clip for the summation) and this, him answering seriously when asked how exactly he is going to clean up the city:
 |
Monk: One bag at a time, one truck at a time! |
 |
- Keep in mind that his plan was to fill up a truck, then drive it into the ocean. And then get a new one.
- And the summation in question, that was his second summation in the episode when it turns out the Mayor is very likely to have not murdered the union boss, and the first, wrong summation was actually closer to being correct than the second summation.
- In the same episode, he proposed a different plan to the mayor. Specifically, that since the stench would ruin the city for eternity, everyone should be evacuated. The city would then be burned down, and the ashes burned a second time, at which point it would be repopulated and rebuilt.
- In the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital", Monk encounters an 80-year-old, bed-ridden invalid who is nonetheless tough as nails and takes an instant dislike to the Defective Detective. He eventually picks out Monk's nickname (the utter contempt in his voice it what truly makes it a CMoF):
|
"I'm gonna call you "soft serve"! Like the ice cream!" |
|
- Monk tries to get into an exclusive fashion show.
|
Guy at entrance: And your name? |
|
- Though you may scream Dude, Not Funny! throughout the scene when Natalie basically steals Stottlemeyer's new car—TWICE! -- towards what she thinks is her daughter's murder, you may well also laugh long and loud.
|
Natalie Teeger: I took a shortcut. I... cut across the creek. |
|
- In the same episode, Monk is in his therapist's office talking with him, having phoned him up in the middle of the night. Monk apologizes for waking Dr. Kroger up, and Dr. Kroger says it's fine. Then Monk expresses concern that he annoyed Dr. Kroger's wife:
|
Dr. Kroger: Madeleine is fine, she knows it comes with the job. |
|
- When he told Kroger about the alleged suspect's digging up his mother's corpse.
|
Monk: I didn't dig up Trudy and parade her around. |
|
- When the cast accompanies him to Manhattan where he's following a lead on Trudy's killer, Captain Stottlemeyer and Randy sneak into the police station to look at the files of a local uncooperative cop. The alarm on Randy's new watch goes off, and The Captain tells him to turn it off. "I can't. The instructions were in Korean."
- Randy stops a murderer while wearing Captain America (comics) PJs. And being drunk.
- Two moments in "Mr. Monk And The Really, Really Dead Guy". The first is because the special investigators use their advanced technology to come to the conclusion that the self-proclaimed serial killer threatening to strike again despises street performers (he killed one previously), so Randy dresses up as a street performer to lure the guy. As he stands there playing awful music and singing badly, Stottlemeyer tells the other investigators that there's a flaw in their plan, because :
|
Stottlemeyer: the first person who attacks him may not necessarily be your serial killer. |
|
- The second is when Monk proves that Ludd Was Right by using old-fashioned deduction to solve the case where the advanced tech championed by the special investigators failed, and the killer flees. Stottlemeyer grabs the electronic recording device from one of the agents and throws it at the killer, knocking him down and allowing him to be captured, then quips:
|
Stottlemeyer: Hey, you were right, one of your gizmos caught the killer! |
|
- Monk takes a look at a mummy, and immediately concludes that they were killed. Natalie tries to get him to hurry up by pointing out the mummy's been dead for centuries, to which Monk replies "there's no statue of limitations on murder."
- "Mr. Monk Gets Drunk." And then solves the case, delivering his summation while still completely hammered.
- "Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert" has a lot of them.
- This one when Natalie spots him after he comes out of a port-a-potty. Monk's reaction is quite appropriate, made more so with the fact that a body falls out:
|
Natalie Teeger: Oh! Oh! [runs up] Mr. Monk! What are you doing?! |
|
- Funny when Stottlemeyer catches Randy red-handed faking sickness to attend the concert. His method: call Randy from about twenty feet away on his cell phone and sneak up on him:
|
Lt. Randall Disher: [pretending to be wheezy] Hello? |
|
- Monk repeatedly ending his sentences with "Over" when communicating with Stottlemeyer over a walkie-talkie.
- At one point, Monk is drowning in the ocean. He has to reach for a filthy bit of metal to make his escape. What does he do while he's drowning? He washes his hands.
- This exchange between Murderous and Randy Disher in "Mr Monk and The Rapper":
|
Murderuss: I am not going to be putting a bomb under somebody's town car. You know me, I'm up close and personal, face-to-face. |
|
- A great one from "Mr. Monk and the Bully", when Monk is trying to bribe a bartender into revealing information about his target:
|
Adrian Monk: Hi, um, we're looking for this woman. [flashes a photo of Marilyn] |
|
- A moment with Randy, later:
|
[while arresting the twin] |
|
- Randy has his moments in "Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees"**
|
[after arresting Rob Sherman for murder] |
|
- A funny moment in "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (also an Oh Crap moment):
|
[Adrian, Jack, and Natalie have interviewed prison guard Daniel Reese at his house and are leaving] |
|
- In "Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend," that scene where Randy mistakes Natalie's mention of confident information as meaning to say that she is in love with him, much to Natalie's annoyance.
- Later, a scene where Monk sabotages Stottlemeyer's interrogation by pretending to be an FBI agent, but fails miserably, calling out the suspect's drinking and her moonlighting as a waitress.
- Always a gem: those scenes in "Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank". First, Randy tries to unfreeze a living statue performer who may or may not have seen a bank robbery with some unusual and totally bizarre antics. Later, Natalie tries even more unusual methods in a failed attempt to unfreeze Randy at the police station.
- In both "Mr. Monk is on the Run" parts, there are some pretty amusing moments:
- In "Part One", Natalie has to use a drill to take off Monk's handcuffs and jumpsuit, and to explain the purpose of the drill to Randy, she pretends that her blender broke and makes an unusually bizarre smoothie. Randy obviously notices the oil, since this is the type of heavy-duty drill used in construction.
- In "Part Two", that scene where Randy is playing his funeral song for Stottlemeyer, which is fifteen verses long and does not seem to be documenting Monk's "death" until near the end. To spare himself more, Stottlemeyer cracks and confesses that Monk is alive.
- A few in "Mr. Monk Buys a House":
- This one, when Jake's assistant Ramone cuts a small hole in the wall with a reciprocating saw.
|
Honest Ramone: Hey Jake, can you see me? [chuckles] |
|
- The scene where Stottlemeyer and Disher tap Morse code messages to each other on a door.
